“It’s got flaps. Ear flaps. It’s an ear-hat, John!”

The quote in the title will mean nothing to you if you haven’t seen the second season of BBC’s Sherlock. You’ll have to wait until May, when PBS airs the show in the US, to find out. I, on the other hand, couldn’t wait that long 😛 Not to spoil it, but Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss have outdone themselves. When I first saw the clips, I thought their interpretation of Irene Adler was a little expected, but I was very happy with how the episode turned out. And I cheered when the deerstalker made its debut.

So today I brought out my own deerstalker for the ABC’s of Style, “T for Tomboy.” I find it interesting that my outfit would look perfectly fine on any man a hundred years ago, but nowadays it’s mostly women that dress like this (minus the deerstalker, of course.) It’s not that I wish cravats and top hats were back in fashion (wouldn’t it be fun if they were though?), it’s just funny how style has changed.

Shirt: Target; Pants: Urban Outfitters
Boots, belt, blazer & deerstalker (damn it, it breaks my “b” streak): thrifted
Tie: sash from a dress
